Imagine a common horizon

The exploding potential of human thoughts seems to polarise our reality perceptions, making room in our imagination to an equally rising desire:

to imagine a common horizon…

Throughout life’s journey, a simple pattern of constant activity apparently moves all living beings: we all explore ways to integrate into a grandiose, forever revealed context.

Flowing within the environment.

All living species today on Earth share the same temporary position of awed and humble learners.

As Humans, some 200.000 years ago, each of our ancestors took different paths of learning curves.

Today, contemporary tribes of Malay’s jungle and the advanced Western technology tribes, share the same space and time: we all made it up to this moment!

Equipped with some unique homo sapiens abilities, some tribes managed to think and structure the past experiences and project them into a more adaptive future. Focusing on past and future one could miss the present. Projecting an outer horizon.

Other tribes, like Malay Senoi (or Sng’oi), used different abilities to feel and learned how to flow in the present becoming extra sensitive and aware of the environment. Less understanding and more dancing with Nature. Living an inner horizon.

By sharing the same temporary humble place on Earth, learning how to incorporate gained wisdom of ALL paths, could be our next ticket to a whole Humanity.

On a smaller scale, on an epigenetic level, the trillions of cells composing the human body are constantly washed by approximately the same quantity of contextual raw information from the beginnings to nowadays, so there are no smarter beings.

On an individual scale, through our unique ability to think, we were able to deconstruct some information passing through our bodies. Some used the brains to process that information to future iterate with it.

Together, language and technology at large, expanded our capacity to share an increasingly larger context lived by each individual and generations on the time scale. We accumulated thus an expanding common knowledge specific to each individual and circles as families, friends, tribes or societies.

In an infinite world, this fractal evolution could go endlessly, only locally disturbed by occasional crossings of individuals or circles, sharing an inability to coherently transfer different realities. These encounters end up in anxieties, frustrations, fights, wars.

Exponentially accelerating during last decades, technology, along with its benefits of boosting a way of exploring, brought us to a point where in our finite Earth and limited citadine spaces, we are forced to accelerate a common understanding of conversations which are pushing us to more different abstract and spacial spaces.

As native members of more advance tech cultures, maybe we can focus our brains on exploring deeper how to better adapt our unconscious inner biology to the exploding bubble of ever more abstract thoughts, while learning to use the high tech to “gap-map” the space between
